Upgrade your 240Z 260Z 280Z rear suspension with our Pro Touring Rear Suspension kit— high-strength, cost-effective differential solution. With the Pro Touring class, you can upgrade your rear differential to the Ford Super 8.8 or Nissan 370Z diffs. This eliminates weak factory stub axles and half-shafts and swaps in 370Z outer CVs and wheel hubs for modern reliability and high horsepower capacity.
This kit replaces the mustache bar and dog-legs with a rigid rear subframe, significantly strengthening the chassis while adding adjustability for roll center, camber, caster, and toe.
Starting 11/01/25: kits ship with 300M rolled-spline axles, significantly stronger than the older 4340, and failure-tested over ~1,000 ft-lb / Tq.
Choose Riaction coilovers or BC Racing for a no-weld install. Using another brand? Send us the lower mounts (sleeves), add the Coilover Welding Service at checkout, and we’ll weld and powder-coat them for a seamless fit.
Fitment notes:
Early S30 (1970–1973) require a minor spare-wheel-tub modification.
A small frame notch is needed to clear larger differentials.
Must use OEM CV axle ends
4 Lug options available! Contact us for further details!
If Rod End / Heim Joint dust boots are desired, this kit uses 8: Rod End Dust Boots

As of 2023, the Apex Engineered PRO TOURING Rear Suspension Kit 240Z 260Z 280Z has been updated to specifically fit the Mustang Super 8.8 rear end. We chose to design the Apex Engineered PRO TOURING Rear Suspension Kit around the Mustang Super 8.8 because these units are readily available and offer significantly more strength than the Explorer 8.8, making them the perfect match for high-performance Datsun builds.
Yes, the Apex Engineered PRO TOURING Rear Suspension Kit 240Z 260Z 280Z is compatible with a 350Z differential. However, to ensure proper fitment and durability, you must use the 370Z axles and wheel bearings. These specific components are larger and significantly stronger than the standard 350Z parts, providing the necessary strength for the high-performance setup of the Apex Engineered PRO TOURING Rear Suspension Kit.
Yes! The Apex Engineered PRO TOURING Rear Suspension Kit 240Z 260Z 280Z offers comprehensive alignment control for your Datsun. This Apex Engineered kit features integrated camber adjustment directly from the rear spindle, precise toe adjustment via the floating link, and caster adjustment at the spindle pin to ensure your suspension geometry is perfectly dialed in.
The Apex Engineered S30 (240Z / 260Z / 280Z) Pro Touring Rear Suspension Kit offers superior adjustability over the OEM setup, including control over roll center, anti-squat, track width, camber, and toe. By moving to a 370Z outer CV and wheel hub arrangement, it provides the high horsepower capacity and reliability that the original Datsun components lack. The lightweight yet strong design is finished in a durable powder coat, ensuring long-lasting performance for street or track use.
Installation of the Apex Engineered S30 (240Z / 260Z / 280Z) Pro Touring Rear Suspension Kit is designed to be a no-weld process when using Riaction or BC Racing coilovers. If you choose a different coilover brand, Apex Engineered offers a welding service for your lower mounts to ensure a seamless fit. The kit replaces the original mustache bar and dog-legs with a rigid rear subframe, significantly strengthening the S30 chassis while providing modern 370Z wheel hub compatibility.
